|
| 6/26/2004 | HSN WEEK 3: RIVER'S REST MUSEUM OPENS |
|
The River's Rest Museum is now open to the public. The museum is dedicated to preserving the island's rich and varied history.
Exhibits include artifacts from every significant period of River's Rest history, from the days when it was one of the jewels of the Kingdom of Elanith, through its long decline, to its current stature as a haven for smugglers, lackwits, and ne'er-do-wells. The museum will be of especial interest to bards, who are permitted to handle some of the artifacts and discover their hidden secrets. At present only the main floor of the museum is open to the public. Expansion will take place as more artifacts are discovered and restored. |
|
| 6/25/2004 | HSN WEEK 3: TRIPLE X - EXTREME EXPERIENCE EXPLOSION |
|
Introducing Triple X: Extreme Experience Explosion! No, it isn't the latest Vin Diesel movie. Rather, it's a way in which all characters have the opportunity to advance more quickly by virtue of a weekly experience bonus. Here's how it works:
For the first 3 hours of game play each week, all characters have the opportunity to gain triple experience (base EXP + 2x base EXP). This is accomplished by gaining experience in any of the ways available in GemStone IV - everything from hunting to picking locks to foraging. For the next 3 hours of game play each week, all characters have the opportunity to gain double experience (base EXP + base EXP). Each week, Triple X begins counting down the 6-hour bonus once the character is absorbing experience. If the character is role-playing about with a clear mind at any time during the week, regardless of when the countdown started, Triple X is on hold until the character gains some experience. And that's it! For 6 hours each week, every character has the opportunity to increase their experience gain so that they may more easily advance in levels. Players will be notified with "in character" (IC) messaging when the weekly bonus initiates and when it expires. It is also possible to check the bonus by using the EXPERIENCE (EXP) command. For the purpose of IC reference, Triple X will be known as the Gift of Lumnis. More information on Triple X: Extreme Experience Explosion can be found at http://www.play.net/gs4/news/2004_plans/HSN2004/triplex.asp |

| 6/25/2004 | SALTWATER SAL COMES TO RIVER'S REST |
|
Being dead can often be a dull experience. Given the periodic lack of clerics in River's Rest, being dead on that island can be both dull and interminable. Of course, there are also those who claim that being dead in River's Rest is redundant.
Rejoice! Relief is on the way! Saltwater Sal, the peripatetic cleric, has generously agreed to offer her services to the dead of River's Rest. Disclaimer: Sal has been known to behave in ways that might be called 'odd.' She can be restless and generally dislikes staying in one place. She may not be willing to accept traditional payment for her services. She also has a tendency to be squeamish about blood. But when she's rational and willing, she's certainly among the top five or six thousand clerics in Elanthia. |
|
| 6/24/2004 | HSN WEEK 3: TWO NEW COMBAT MANEUVERS! |
| Two more new maneuvers for Hot Summer Nights have been released! Weapon Specialization and Spin Attack are now available to learn through the Combat Maneuver Lists. Access to the Spin Attack combat maneuver is also available through the Warrior Tricks guild skill. Please see CMAN HELP WSPEC and CMAN HELP SATTACK for more information. | |
| 6/24/2004 | HSN WEEK 3: RACING IN RIVER'S REST! |
|
Rumors of illicit crab racing have long been bandied about in River's Rest. Recent sightings of shady characters toting burlap bags smelling of saltwater seem to suggest the rumors may be true. Now, if only we knew where somebody might hold illegal gambling events, and if only we knew how to join in....
If you've silvers to waste, River's Rest is the place to waste them. If you're possessed by a gambling bug, River's Rest is the place to feed it. It's said a fool and his money are soon parted, and that parting is more amusing in River's Rest. |
|
| 6/24/2004 | HSN WEEK 3: LIVE BAIT - HALF PRICE! |
|
Miss Knaydl, the owner and captain of the coastal cutter 'Live Bait,' has reduced the cost of traveling to and from River's Rest by one half. It is her hope that she can make up for the reduced price by increasing the frequency of her trips. The 'Live Bait' will now leave port (either in Solhaven or River's Rest) approximately every half hour. A hefty contribution to the Imperial Navy Retirement Fund has assured Knaydl that passage to and from River's Rest will proceed unhindered.
Knaydl insists this is merely a temporary arrangement, subject to change with absolutely no notice at all. |
|
| 6/24/2004 | HSN WEEK 3: NEW VERB - TINKER |

But gnomes, both Burghal and Forest, have shown us how to be more productive with our hands. Now, you too can TINKER. Tinker with yourself! Tinker with your friends! Tinker with your stuff! The possibilities are endless.
WARNING: The sausages that larger races call fingers may not be able to handle the finer intricacies of tinkering. |

Noting an increase in ticket sales for the Dhu Gillywack, Captain Urgweld Flunkenzaq stated, "We shall fly this weekend. Let all who bought a ticket board my marvelous ship on the Day of the Huntress, at 9:30 Elven Time. I look forward to welcoming you all on board." Urgweld went on to add, "The Dhu Gillywack will be leaving from the Landing first, so anyone who wishes to be first aboard should make their way to the Landing before 9:30pm Elven time on the Day of the Huntress."
From the GemStone IV staff: Please note, Run 3 of the Dhu Gillywack will not be taking place unless ticket sales for that Run exceed 150. We cannot guarantee that they will do so. Additionally, there will be no special gift given due to the second run occuring on schedule. The shopping week for Run 2 will be extended one extra day, Saturday, due to the game outage next Tuesday. |

| 6/20/2004 | HSN WEEK 2: WORLD CUISINE |
|
From the Burghal Book Review:
A new tome on the culinary proclivities of various races has just been released to great fanfare here in Illistim. Called "Gastronomical Identification and Imitation" and written by a Winedotter from Ta'Loenthra, this highly original work covers the ingredients and methods of preparation that make local foods so distinctive. The author provides sample menus for each region throughout the text, which should help the enterprising cook recreate the delicacies described. Miss Winedotter does an admirable job of capturing the essence of other races through their gastronomical preferences and has done us all a great service by sharing her experiences. Read the new book yourself at http://www.play.net/gs4/info/tomes/food.asp |
